Lieutenant Bobby Martin said Marcus Manquell Bell may be in the Wake County area where the suspects in the case have ties.
Bell, 26, is wanted for first degree burglary, conspiracy to commit robbery, discharging a weapon into an occupied dwelling and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile.
Marqiz Te'vonn Thomas, 17, was killed when he and three other people broke into a house on Highway 481 in the Enfield area.
Thomas, who was on a weekend pass from the Edgecombe Youth Development Center, was shot in the head with his own weapon, which was wrested from him during a struggle with the homeowner.
Thomas was being held in the youth center for a crime similar to what occurred Saturday morning.
Two of the suspects turned themselves in Sunday to the sheriff's office. It is believed they have committed similar crimes throughout the area.
Captain Jay Burch said Jasmine Deshaunda Graham's grandmother encouraged the 20-year-old Battleboro girl to turn herself in. Graham turned herself in around 3:30 Sunday afternoon and was jailed on $30,000 bond.
She faces charges of first degree burglary, conspiracy to commit robbery, discharging a weapon into an occupied dwelling and contributing to the delinquency of a juvenile. She was on probation for similar charges in Wake County.
Soon after Graham turned herself in, Diamante Harrell came to the sheriff's office and spoke with Detective J. Puhak, telling him who he was and why he was there.
Harrell was jailed on $100,000 bond and faces the same charges as Graham. He is also on probation for drug charges in Edgecombe County.
Burch confirmed the three suspects did fire back after their alleged accomplice was killed by the home owner. That is reflected in the shooting into an occupied dwelling charge. It is not clear who the ringleader was.
The homeowner heard footsteps on the porch and, looking through a peephole, saw the suspects, who kicked in the door.
A fight ensued and the homeowner was able to get Thomas' gun, a .38-caliber weapon, and shoot him in the head. The suspect died instantly.
Burch described the home invasion as a targeted crime and not a random act.
Bell is also wanted for two counts of communicating threats and driving while license revoked in an unrelated case.
